What she said at the dock just now was not entirely a lie. Qingxuan's master did owe her a meal, but it was not the Dongjiang of two years ago, but the Dongjiang of the previous life.
At that time, the city of Jiangdu was destroyed, and she and her sister were escorted to Beijing. They met a sloppy old Taoist on the outskirts of the city. This old Taoist looked crazy at first glance, but his speech was very clear. Xu Yin saw that he was being expelled everywhere and could not even get a bite of food.
, felt pity for a moment and gave him his own rations.
At that time, the sisters were unable to protect themselves. If they gave him a meal, they would starve themselves.
Before leaving, the old Taoist said, "He has nothing to offer and can't afford the food, but he has a disciple named Qingxuan, and he will ask him to pay for it in the future."
Xu Yin didn't take it seriously, but when he arrived in the capital, he was shocked again.
Just when they were in the most difficult time, a young man came to their door and said that his name was Qingxuan and that he was here to pay back the master's meal money.
This meal was probably the most expensive meal the old Taoist had ever eaten. Qingxuan found a way to join the Forbidden Army, promoted all the way to the Guards Department, and then protected her from the capital until the moment of her death.
There were three people around her when she died in her previous life. Chai Qi had the hardest time, and happened to be the closest, so she was the first to get him back and keep Xiao Sang.
Lao Yu's situation is different from his previous life. Because she intervened in advance, he took revenge early and followed Princess Changning. He had something to rely on for the rest of his life, and Xu Yin stopped disturbing his new life.
Qingxuan is the most capable among them. He has great martial arts skills and travels around the world freely. He doesn't need her help, so she didn't take the initiative to find him. But now that she has met him by chance, she can just kidnap him back - this kid is used to it.
He will cause trouble and make many enemies, so it's better to watch him and be at ease.
The next day, when the Xu family was packing their luggage, Master Chu Jiu came to visit.
Xiao Sang invited the people in, served tea respectfully, and then left.
Xu Yin sat across from him at the tea table, looked at their expressions, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ninth Young Master got his wish."
Mr. Chu Jiu smiled and nodded: "I would also like to thank Third Miss for your help."
Early this morning, King Hexing gave the royal order to Chang Shi. According to the usual procedure, he should submit a letter to request the seal, and the emperor would approve it. But in this situation, there is no need for that.
Xu Yin picked up the tea cup: "Then I will replace the wine with tea and wish the ninth master to realize his ambition."
Mr. Chu Jiu clinked glasses with her and said sincerely: "The same goes for Third Miss."
After two incidents, he knew in his heart that Miss Xu San was not an ordinary woman. She was not just showing up to share her father's worries. The ambitions she held in her heart may not be lost to him. Working with such a person is a life worth remembering.
thing.
He suddenly envied Yan Erlai. Before losing this marriage, he was just regretful that he lacked such a helper. It was only today that he realized what the most precious thing was.
Someone knows your heart, someone understands your ideals, and what is even more valuable is that she has the ability to go hand in hand with you and support each other. She is a confidant who depends on you in life and death, and a partner whose soul resonates.
It's a pity that he doesn't have this blessing.
Thinking of this, he said sincerely: "If Third Miss is of any use in the future, I will definitely repay her with courage."
Xu Yin was not polite and sent out favors, but of course he was waiting to repay them.
When Master Chu Jiu went back, there was a commotion in the mansion.
Because King Hexing was ill, the princes could not go out to have fun, so they gathered together to chat and play games to pass the time.
This conversation will inevitably lead to the Spring Festival Banquet.
The younger son didn't have time to go, so he told his elder brother stories.
The Thirteenth Young Master said vividly: "It was too late to say that, but it was too late. There was a 'whoosh' sound, and the Marquis of Jiading fell down from the ladder. When everyone saw that his face was like gold paper, he had no breath at all!"
The young masters all asked: "Who did it? Is the Marquis of Jiading dead?"
The Twelfth Young Master sneered and interjected: "Haven't you all heard about it? Of course it was Miss Xu San who did it, and the Marquis of Jiading has returned home safely, so what are you asking about!"
The Thirteenth Young Master was not happy and said: "How can you break up the trouble? Storytelling must have twists and turns, otherwise it won't be interesting to hear it? You think so?"
Some of the young gentlemen were supportive, and some were opposed. The whole room was noisy.
Amidst the noise, only the Eleventh Young Master was sitting alone in the corner, feeling depressed, sighing in self-pity, holding a cup of tea and drinking wine, which made everyone sad when he heard it and shed tears when he saw it.
After finishing the trouble, the Twelfth Young Master looked back and saw this scene, and said maliciously: "Brother Eleven, what's going on? A few days ago, didn't you still want to tell Brother Ninth to tell each other off? Don't you think you were frightened and sick yesterday?"
Normally, if he said this, the Eleventh Young Master would definitely not give up, but today he had no intention of fighting. He sighed and said, "It's not a sign, forget it, this heir apparent is not for a normal person."
Young Master Twelve teased: "Brother Eleven was really frightened? I really can't tell!"
Young Master Eleven had a grimace on his face, thinking that if it were you, you would be even more frightened. He had to follow them to the small building yesterday, but ended up breaking Miss Xu San's outfit change, and was then held hostage by those "gangsters".
The whole audience.
Mother, he always thought that his power was all due to his father's favor. Ninth brother actually hid such an elite force that even his father dared to surround him. And Miss Xu San, she killed people whenever she wanted and oppressed her father.
I can't breathe.
The blow was so great that the Eleventh Young Master completely lost his desire to win. Why fight? If he wants a few extra pocket coins, he has to rack his brains to please his father. The two of them are not human beings!
Just as he was thinking about it, the hall suddenly became quiet. The young men stood up one by one and called out solemnly: "Brother Ninth."
Young Master Chu Jiu glanced over and said, "My father is still ill, please restrain yourself."
In the past, on occasions like this, there would always be a few unconvinced people who wanted to talk back. Today, all the young masters are like-minded and respond obediently: "I understand."
Master Chu Jiu nodded, turned around and called: "Eleventh brother, come with me."
The Eleventh Young Master was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
The Ninth Young Master of Chu took the lead to step out of the hall. The Eleventh Young Master hesitated for a moment, but finally did not have the guts to go against him and followed him out slowly.
The brothers walked slowly to the covered bridge, and Master Chu Jiu stopped.
The Eleventh Young Master became more and more flustered as he walked away. When he saw him turning around, he shouted anxiously: "Brother Ninth, I was wrong! I shouldn't have talked back to you. I was the one who didn't know what to do before, and I still hoped that Lord Ninth Brother would be more generous. Look,
Let me go in terms of brotherly love..."
After shouting, he saw Master Chu Jiu showing a strange expression: "What are you talking about?"
The Eleventh Young Master was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Brother Ninth...don't you want to raise an army to investigate the crime..."
Mr. Chu Jiu pressed his forehead and said: "I want to tell you, don't hang out with Shisan and the others in the future. You are not young anymore. Hurry up and learn to govern."
"ah?"
"Ah what?" Seeing his stupid look, Mr. Chu Jiu felt a little regretful, "Although we have many brothers, few of them can be counted on. The first few brothers are alienated from me, and the latter brothers are not too young.
It's just that you can't study well. Although you... you can study well at least. I am weak on my own, and my family needs the help of my brothers to prosper."
Young Master Eleven swallowed, thought about these words several times in his mind, and suddenly understood: "Brother Ninth, you want me to help you!"
"Can you help me now?" Master Chu Jiu scolded him, then softened his tone, "Forget it, from tomorrow onwards you can follow Director Chang Shi and set an example for your brothers."
Young Master Eleven understood and couldn't help laughing.
He doesn't need to be punished, and can still talk to Chang Shi as director, so he will have errands in the future and no longer have to ask for pocket money from his father!
"Yes, Brother Ninth! I will definitely do it well!"
Seeing him grinning so wide that his teeth could not see his eyes, Mr. Chu Jiu couldn't help but press his forehead.
Why does he have such a stupid brother? Alas, he can only be taught slowly. The palace has been in chaos for many years, and the rules and regulations have to be slowly picked up.
